test: bump e2e test runner to React Native 0.74.1

[russellwheatley]

Description

• Moved test app to React Native 0.74.1.

Fixes required for react-native-macos

• Patch package required to add this fix back. It was reverted in this PR which is part of React Native 0.74.1. Required for test runner for Firebase Storage macOS as we use ArrayBuffer here.
• Firebase Storage macOS implementation needed fixing up as well, not related to update 0.74.1.

We're skipping StorageReference tests on macOS. It is fragile because of uploadBytesResumable(). Attempted multiple ways of encoding data (Blob, Uint8Array & ArrayBuffer) but to no avail. This issue is roughly what is happening.

To be specific, it is the way that uploadBytesResumable() interacts with React Native. There is an incompatibility issue with the way the upload request is handled when specifically uploading buffers/blobs. Using a Blob results in a crash 100% of the time, using ArrayBuffer is more stable but still crashes from time to time. Even worse is that the resulting string is encoded in base64 in the text file created.

On web, this code results in a text file with correct content (i.e. "hello world"):

const storageRef = ref(storage, 'test.txt');
const encoder = new TextEncoder();
const blob = encoder.encode('hello world').buffer;

await  uploadBytesResumable(storageRef, blob);

On react native, it is base64 encoded, even with "text/plain" content type.

Worth keeping an eye on React Native for ArrayBuffer implementation. See: facebook/react-native#41170
